A daily record of gratitude; from quilting to photography to a mix of technology, books, movies and the musings of life!

Welcome to my Blog of my daily gratitude and photo of the day!

Since January 1, 2012, my goal is to write a daily sentence or two about gratitude of the day and to include one photo (at least) that I took that day (but will add others from time to time). It has defintely been a challenge every day throughout the past three years, but I welcome the challenge again this year 2015. I hope you will continue the ride with me!

Falling in Love

...with the city of Nashville! Such a cool relaxed vibe here that is really infectious. The downtown area that offers a plethora of dining, entertainment and sports, and a lots of country music is all within walking distances to earn your fill. However, the Grand Ole Opry is about 12 miles out of the downtown area but still quite simple to find and enjoy.

Our day was packed and fun-filled starting with the Country Music Hall of Fame. Lots of cool items, facts and tidbits of the legends dating back 100 years to the superstars of today. I especially liked the gold and platinum records that graced the walls in the large halls, and the rotunda filled with plaques designating the Hall of Famers (performers) that have been invited to join the prestigious organization. It's a must do while in Nashville!

Son Ryan, ever the BBQ loving and finder of BBQ joints, did not fail us and directed us to Martin's BBQ Joint; that makes the South, and Tennessee particularly, a foodie legend. Yummy!

We then took a break from the music scene to cheer on the Washington Capitals at the Bridgestone Arena. Unfortunately, they lost 5-2 to the Nashville Predators, but it was fun touring around as a first time visitor to this arena. And as soon as the game ended, we zipped out quickly to get to our final destination/venue tonight: The Grand Ole Opry. We loved all the performers tonight, but especially CeCe Winans and Vince Gill! What talent! What a place! And the longest running radio broadcast since 1925....Great Show!

About Me

I have been quilting for over 25 years, and really love the fact they can serve dual purposes! The beauty of the crafting, colors and fabric, and the fact they can keep you warm and cozy snuggled under one! I also love photography, epecially my family and my dogs, plus botanicals and nature. I am also a USSF soccer official! I want to express the sunny side of life through my quilts and photos and other life musings!
